Lost at Sea- My version
Ch.12: The Great Leader
Maddy waited for the right moment, her horse took a step backwards than forwards. Maddy looked at Chen who looked back at her. Maddy nodded, giving him the signal. Chen rose up, getting an arrow out of his quiver and lying it across the bow. He pulled back the string.
"FIRE!" he shouted. He was the first to fire and then came the rest of the Nishawan Archers. Maddy seized this chance.
"Ya!" Maddy shouted as she softly kicked her horse, she snapped the reins and the horse went galloping down the hills. The Shuwai men began to fire back, but Maddy drew her sword. "Come on lads!"
The rest of the men followed her as they charged into battle. They slammed into the Shuwai's lines and Maddy swung her sword, slicing many Shuwai in return. The battle commenced from there, many were falling. Maddy was hit in the arm with an arrow. She fell off her horse and slammed into the ground. Her horse galloped away freaked out, Maddy put her hand on the arrow that had hit her, she carefully broke off the stick as far as the stick could go, and she got up. Although her arm was bleeding terribly, she still had the heart to fight. She unstrapped her rifle and loaded it with a bullet. She aimed her gun at an archer. She fired the gun and the archer slammed into the ground. Maddy loaded her gun again and fired, every time she fired that gun, she hit someone.
When Maddy put her hand into her leather pouch, she searched for a cartridge, she couldn't feel anything in her bag, it was all gone. Maddy looked up frightened at the battle enraging. Shuwai soldiers were becoming stronger than the Nishawans. Maddy's eyes widened. She needed to get these men to strike harder. She threw her gun down and picked up her sword, there she went into battle.
"Come on lads!" Maddy shouted once more. "You can do this!"
She ran into combat, swinging her sword and stabbing many Shuwai. The Nishawans saw the brave Maddy going deeper into combat, deeper into the lines the Shuwai were in. She was getting badly injured and hurt. But that did not stop her, the Nishawans followed her and with great force they began to push back the Shuwai men.
By that next hour, the Shuwai retreated and the Nishaw Indians yelled their victory yell. Chen went searching for Maddy, she was nowhere to be seen. But finally, she appeared out of the dust that was up in the air from retreating Shuwai. She put her sword back into her holder. Chen ran to her and hugged her.
"Maddy," he cooed. "You're okay"
He accidently hit Maddy's wounded arm. She groaned in pain. Chen saw this and looked at her. He carefully touched her wounded arm. He looked at the arrow stuck inside her skin. He carefully pulled out the end causing Maddy to shout. He then tied her wound up with a rag. Maddy looked up at him.
"You'll be fine" he said. "Come on"
"Are you the White Girl who led these Nishawans into battle?" asked a man. Maddy and Chen turned around. It was a Shuwai.
"Y-yes" Maddy said, gulping.
"I am the Chief of the Shuwai" he said. Maddy gulped again.
